Anyone want to see my microblading?

I had it done yesterday and I'm really happy with it. It was a big jump for me as I've never had anything done with my brows before.

I'd like to!

Yes! I desperately want some subtle eyebrows, but not crazy ones, so I'm scared to take the plunge! Please tell us they're good :)

Here you go!

My brows before were quite pale, sparse and uneven, I overplucked them in the late 90s and they never recovered, and were quite thin to begin with.

This pic was taken this morning, no makeup. They look v neat, but natural IMO and I don't feel like they need makeup on the rest of my face to look right, which was something I was a bit concerned about.

Beautiful!

I'd be worried about how they fade over time. I've seen them go slightly purple. Too big a risk for me.

They look great @AquaticSewingMachine . I had my done earlier this year. I lost my eyebrows during chemotherapy and unlike my hair ( which grew back really well) my eyebrows had lots of gaps. It's given my confidence a boost which ovarian cancer robbed me of. The lady had very little hair to work with but I think she did a great job.

@Whererhewestwind

Wow, yours are very natural looking.

Hope you are in good health now. ❤️

looking good - the pic's a bit blurry though - do they have a sharp outline in real life, or is a softer edge what you were going for?

Whererhewestwind · 15/09/2022 14:23

I am thank you @User354354 . I'm.one of the lucky ones but it's not something I would want to see anyone go through.xx

I've had a few goes, but I can't seem to get a better closeup shot! I would say the edges are neat but not flawless - I wanted a natural look and if they were 100% linear I think it might look a bit inhumanly perfect. The majority of my appointment was actually mapping out the shape very, very carefully, so I reckon a good practitioner could make it sharp or softer

Yours are a lovely shape. Hope you're on the mend now.

Impossible to tell from your picture. It's too filtered/blurry.

No filters! Just hard to take a decent close-up selfie. I'll see if DH can assist later.
